Will you let the Obama\/Holder Administration Divide and Conquer Gun Owners?<\/strong><\/span>

<\/p>\n

The Obama\/Holder administration is counting on gun owner apathy to allow proposed changes to Trust\/LLC Transfers to go unchallenged. We can\u2019t afford to allow them to divide and conquer gun owners. Gun owners must stand united.<\/span><\/p>\n

The proposed changes to Trust\/LLC transfers will require a law enforcement certification when transferring any title II firearm into a Trust or LLC, this includes suppressors, short-barreled rifles, and machine guns eligible for civilian ownership. This means that if you want to purchase any title II firearm you will need to find a law enforcement official who is willing to provide you with their signature. Most are either too busy, unfamiliar with the law, or believe they will be held politically liable by the anti-gun media and therefore refuse to provide their signature. This is why trust transfers have increased in popularity during the past several years.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Make something hard enough\u2026<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

You don\u2019t have to outlaw something to force it out of existence. All that is required are standards that are nearly impossible to attain. That is almost certainly the aim of the current administration. Make it so difficult and the liabilities bad enough and no one will want to. While two of the three proposed provisions are acceptable to gun owners and the NFA community, the LE certification represents a serious roadblock. BATFE has proposed changes affecting NFA Trust Transfers that if enacted would require Trust and LLC Transfers to follow guidelines similar to individual transfers in fact:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe Department of Justice is proposing to amend the regulations of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) regarding the making or transferring of a firearm under the National Firearms Act. The proposed regulations would (1) add a definition for the term “responsible person”; (2) require each responsible person of a corporation, trust or legal entity to complete a specified form, and to submit photographs and fingerprints; and (3) modify the requirements regarding the certificate of the chief law enforcement officer (CLEO).
